Well my friends, we had a FANTASTIC day!!!!!
I honestly cannot remember when was the last time my boys & I laughed so much together!!!!! We have been out of practice for a long time... We couldn't remember if it was 4 or 5 years since Kevin has even SHOT a bow!!! Tyler was using my Mikuta longbow, 53# @ 28" is quite a step up in weight for him!!! (have to admit, he handled it very well!) I was shooting "Joint Marital Property" (my ex-wife's custom Mikuta,that I had built for her) 36# @ 28".
Heading up to the first target, We made a decission... Whoever came back with the most arrows, is the "winner" Lmao! (we did actualy keep score,more on that later) We had 8 old woodies apiece, and lets just say we left alot of wood... in the woods!!! The boy's shot very well considering being out of practice, and with the nerve damage in my hands and fingers, the little 36# bow was a DREAM to shoot!!!!! After shooting most of the course and coming down the hill to the last target, We took an arrow inventory..... Kevin 4, Tyler 2, and old Dad...1 LOL!!!
The "funny" of the day, was at the last target... Kevin, who is an avid golfer, launches his arrow over the back of a big Brown Bear..... "I'll take a Mulligan" he says... and shoots again! (WHAT???) We all had a good old belly laugh over that one!!!!!
After shooting the last target, Kevin added up the scores. "When's the last time you beat me" he asked??? I told him that I honestly couldn't EVER remember beating him. "Well... Happy Father's Day, you did today! You got an 89!" Kevin got an 86, and Tyler a 73. Far from impressive scores, But WHO CARES??? WE HAD FUN!!!!!
We came home, and my boys left for thier Granpa's house. I sat down to relish a wonderful day, and commence repairing arrows..... Final quiver tallies,after repairs... Kevin 8, Tyler 6, and Dad 3
It truely was, a Happy Father's Day!!!!!
